Prototype notes

Opened this issue · 4 comments

Was able to create an initial prototype; due to:

the day length may be hard to get right -- it might be only daylight hours which change day to day??

Also, I haven't hooked up the selection of a pixel yet. So it's hard to choose a good pixel to see patterns.

Something was going wrong with my manual setting of the frame at the top of the draw() function, and it kept pausing display and re-loading the video, so I commented it out and hit play manually. That means the drawing of pixels and the framerate are not synchronized - it's grabbing a pixel every draw(), not every frame. But it's ok just to see how it works generally.

My first cyclogram:

OK, I resolved some pixel location and scaling issues, and now am making real cyclograms! They're still not one row per day, but colors are working:

Woohoo!

I suspect on watching it that the source pixel XY is drifting... maybe?

Look at this one of fall foliage!

Next we need to indicate where the pixel is, with a red box maybe?
